Good news for those who like watching comedians put through their paces: the BAFTA-winning show, Taskmaster, is getting an Aussie twist as local comics go head-to-head in a series of hilarious hijinks.
Each week, tough-love Taskmaster, Tom Gleeson, and his trusty sidekick Tom Cashman, set Julia Morris, Luke McGregor, Jimmy Rees, Nina Oyama and Danielle Walker a series of challenges, each more mind-bending and head-scratching than the last. Who will master the tasks?
In a first look at the highly anticipated series, viewers can glimpse the nation’s top comics battling it out for points as they complete menial tasks with as much pizzazz and speed as they can muster.
Adapted from the hit UK format of the same name, Taskmaster rewards innovation, berates incompetence and doles out a laugh a minute.
